Now that's what I'm talking about black educational films with real substance 👌🏾
About time.
Yeah, way better than patronizing shite like Black Panther
@@BlackSalamander439 Black Panther was wonderful, how was it patronizing? Because it called you colonizers what you are?
Skipper Black educational? How does this represent the black people in Haiti, America, or Europe? There are many black people who never visited Africa.
Friday has real substance and soul plane
People want to talk about how some parts of Africa are poor, failing to acknowledge the colonizers who have stripped the continent of resources for centuries. And continue to do so to this day.
Finally a comment I like
@@TheDiadara1 hmm lol I'm glad someone said this, get the ignorance in the open. I can tell you never actually read an African history book. There literally tons of empires that came to be in Africa way before Europeans ever arrived lol , but please think as you will. Think this funny that you consider the a large amount countries and tribal groups as one country when Africa is extremely diverse with diverse ways of life and cities. I always wonder how ppl can say the Africans were inferior when they made sure to bath each day while most of their European counterparts at the time did not. Well I don't really care
@@mari5258 some had i'm not denying that,but for the majority that was the case,its no secret,check the statistics that average african country has an IQ of 70,fact is that most of them lived in grass huts and continue to this day,some empires had been built,and the most famous you can credit to the arabs,dont get me wrong man i'm not hating on anybody its just the truth,i mean if there were empires built in africa how come europeans steamrolled over them like its nothing? cause they found them living in grass huts when they arrived
@@TheDiadara1 no some of the richest came from Africa, infact the richest man who ever lived was mansa Musa. Research you fuck.
@@TheDiadara1 Muslims in Africa had universities before Europe
My science teacher is obsessed with William Kamkwamba. When I told him they made a movie and it recently came out, he started crying and demanded we watch during class.
that is a good and passionate teacher!! :)

"You're as IDIOT as teacher" ??
This is a 100% true story. I read the book a decade ago. It's crazy to see this as a Netflix film now. I can't recommend the book enough.
I know his stroy by BBC news

Just saying.... Dont ever forget Tom macdonalds name again👌🏼

really nice book
Incredible... this looks so good.. I can’t wait. Finally we are getting good contents from Netflix coming from Africa.
Made by American companies.

I was eating while watching this. Made me cry knowing I have a fridge full of food and they were eating 1 meal per day. Makes you feel the pain
These kind of things keep me motivated to not waste food.

Knowledge is a power, also knowledge makes individual a threat. That is why knowledge will never be free even for 1st world countries.

Exact same thing happened to me. I was fine throughout the whole movie but when the pump started sputtering and water came out I just lost it

Same. I was doing the ugly cry💜
You do realize that this tech has been around for a LONG time, right? And he didn't create it from scratch. He got it from a library. I kept thinking, "Why does it take this kid to get this done?". Seriously, all it took really was someone recognizing that there has to be a better way. That is a rather small hurdle if you really think about it. Once you are past that hurdle then it is just a matter of having the initiative to research it and build it. So, yes, I think this kid has tons of initiative. However, I also think that it shouldn't take your village dying to create this kind of initiative. And it sure as heck shouldn't have been a kid that first got this initiative.
@@101perspective check your privilege, as a Malawian I know the circumstances the country is in and seeing this and hearing this story always brings me to tears

Couldn't agree more
This movie has taught us a lot of lessons.
1. Education is very important and it should be free.
2. Vote wisely
3. Trust the process
4. Do not give up
5. Family is everything
10/10 👏🏻
Just watched this movie, this movie also taught us not to wasting food, because in other part of the world people are struggling just to have a meal every single day and a lot of people die of hunger.
Don’t forget imagination
Remember, Netflix messed up Williams book. They were parts in the movie that did not happen in the book. For example, William never needed the windmill in the book they grew there crops
Malawi is a blessed country. The world is yet to see more from my lovely country - Malawi. We love being Africans and we love living in Africa. We will develop without excuses. From The warm heart of Africa
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes issac
❤💫👏👏
This is a real movie that deserve a Oscar!!!
Absolutely.
It’s really inspiring
I agree.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am an Indian but im soo happy to see an inspiring story from Africa..more African content please
Love from India, it gave me tears looking at the hard working Africans, reminds me of my village. Simple hard working people
Dang, I was hoping the boy have the power of wind. I watched too many superhero movies. Lol!
Lmao
lovemoviesful2 but he does,he knew how to be one with the wind and how to channel its power to helo his people and community, this is GODS PLAN ALHUMDUALLA
YEEES I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA HAVE SUPERPOWERS 😂
Hey idiot The boy gots the power to think that's real superpower
Haha me too
the boy's story is a story of courage and heroism. the film is not about poverty or sadness... its a celebration of innovation, hope and perseverance. This is not just a story of Africa, but I think everyone around the world can relate to the message of the movie. The true story of the boy is so inspiring. I love the acting and the filmography too. A must watch.
This makes me so happy! I was born, raised in and have never left America but my parents are Gambian. Seeing a movie like this on the big screen makes me so happy to see African people being represented. And on top of that, an African inventor too. MashaAllah 🇬🇲❤️
Country of your ancestors is great
I see Africa is represented in this movie as a poor undeveloped area with uneducated violent people and a highly corrupt government. So proud. lol
"It's not a dream... I'm not dreaming."
Ahhhhhh - That bought tears to my eyes.
Great work! Let's hope for more African movies on Netflix without drought and war.
Exactly.

Not just engineers.

So proud 🇲🇼🇲🇼 Nice to see this amazing story come to life and As a Malawian it’s nice to see them capture the true beauty of our country the people 💜
I am almost done with the book and it’s amazing. Sometimes I want to cry reading it. The way he describes going hungry and how his family called him a hero just for getting the tiniest bit of food. It’s amazing but also heartbreaking at times in this book.
How can i purchase the book?
Just saw this film on Netflix after being a huge fan of William since I first retweeted a story about him years ago. He astounded me then - but I didn't know the struggle he endured just to get his windmill running and at so young an age. I'm SO glad his story has been brought to the screen. What a treat for all of us to see and learn.
This was an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT film - 20 cuts above the main. From beginning to end - acting, directing, cinematography, but most especially - the story. The screenwriting was phenomenal - how expertly they packed a riveting story into two hours without lagging, without losing interest - EVERYTHING about this film was intelligent, inspiring, wholesome, life-affirming - if it were playing at a high end movie theater i would gladly have paid top dollar to see it. I cannot say enough good about it - except now I want to buy the DVD. And that kid - Maxwell Simba - what an outstanding actor! Watching this made you fall in love with the whole family and the others as well, and you find you want only the very best of the very best for them. But especially for William. This film is a real jewel. Please see it if you want to restore your faith in man. A must see.
Did I mention that I LOVED this film? Finally - in the caldron of Hollywood dross, a cinematic diamond! Well done - the lot of you! Well done!
well said!!!!
Wow just incredibly raw and inspiring! Netflix you are heading in the right direction with showing the world for what it is in rich diverse content.
Very true thank you Netflix
Well technically it's based off of the book made by the main characters true events
I'm not black but that's real African pride right there.

This is the best movie in Netflix. So so amazing
What is the name movie
The people who disliked this had to many tears in their eyes, and meant to like it.
Why do they make trailers where the whole movie is shown? They introduce the problem (the drought) and then also introduce the solution (the pump, and wind turbine, and the kid learning about energy) within the trailer and then literally show the water showing up at the end. I know there was no water in the frame but it was being implied that the water pump worked... Just feels like I have already seen the movie now.
When you climb a mountain, you have seen the peak from below, but you still climb the mountain. Why? Because the trip to the peak is also something worth to be enjoyed :)
Because this is the sort of movie that is made for the academy, and not the hoi polloi.
@@eriks.pratama54 Then you should know that Mickey dies in KH3. But, hey, you can still enjoy the story right?
(It's a fake spoiler, don't worry).
@@eriks.pratama54 Sure, personally my favorite park at the peak the view looking out from the peak, the big climax after a long journey which they took away by showing everything including the ending. But again, they showed the whole "trip" they showed the whole arc of the kid drawing the lines from pump>talking to teacher about generating electricity on a small scale> Reading the book with wind turbines>and then cutting to the desert with the "dust devil">then laying all the parts out for the turbine> then building it and putting the tower up. And they did this too with the father son relationship, and how people are reacting to the food shortage. imo*
Yes we may seen the movie, but the whole story doesn't.
We call it the warm heart of Africa for a reason. Proudly Malawian Product😛😛
Looking forward to watching it :)
African representation by Americans always baffles me.... Makes it worse for Malawi....
that warm heart of yours gave us bushiri here in south africa

@@AizenIPlannedIt 🤣🤣🤣🤣... I'm laughing even though I am a Malawian.
Currently living in Canada but right after I was born in 96, I lived in Malawi with my parents until 2000. My dad had a steady job there at the time. Seeing this trailer bought tears to my eyes. It's crazy to think that parts of the world and the people living there still go through daily struggles such as this. Can't wait to watch this film soon!
Malawi to the world...so proud of my country

Trust me, I'm a big fan of Chiwetel Ejiofor and the fact that African stories are getting the light of day now in Hollywood. But I'm getting sick and tired at the type of stories Hollywood is continuing to make about Africa. Are there parts of the continent that are famine struck? Yes. But what about the other parts that are experiencing enormous prosperity and economic growth?
Not everyone in Africa is dying of hunger and starvation. Some countries, such as Tanzania, had a record 200 new dollar millionaires last year! And I'm pretty sure these people aren't carrying balls of hay across the Sahara in dusty slippers.
Now I'm not saying that there's no poverty in Africa. But where are the stories about the wealth? The cities? The dollar millionaires and billionaires? The GROWTH??
A majority of the international viewing audience's perception of reality is actually shaped by watching movies such as these, and that's why some people still think Africa is a country, and we're busy making friends with lions, living on top of trees and seeking counsel from wise baboons (this only happens after a drink or 9).
So big up to all the people involved in this production and to all the hard work they put in behind the scenes to making it possible. But I think it's about time that filmmakers in the west (or even here for that matter) tell the stories of our wealth. That the perception of Africa is changed from poverty stricken, to glorious strides in the way of economic prosperity.
Now you'll excuse me, it's bath time for my 5 year old pet lion.
UPDATE
--------------
After watching the movie, here are a few of my honest sentiments about it:
a. It certainly isn't about abject poverty. And I honestly don't know how the filmmakers would have stuffed in all the issues they've covered in the film IN the trailer. I mean, it's such a deeply rooted, African film covering true socio-political/economic themes that still plague a lot of African countries. The issue here isn't how poor the community is, but how ingenuity can rise in the face of total despair (which in this case was the result of poor foresight and greed). And I especially loved how the filmmakers didn't focus on the 'poor' state of living that the characters were dealing with due to the conditions they faced, but on the journey to finding the solution they sought.
b. Chiwetel handles this material like such a pro, you can't even tell it's his directorial debut. His eye for detail, subtle detail. And not to mention he learned to speak the local dialect, which he uses for a large majority of the scenes in the film. My respect to him as a thespian was pretty much cemented after his dumbfounding performance in 12 Years a Slave. But now as a director? I'm truly excited to see where this road takes him.
c. This was a beautifully done film that I not only believe every African filmmaker should watch, but hope that it'll give light to the VAST sea of stories that we have as a people - and not only from 'true story' literature. From the comments I've read following my previous post, a nice number of you shared some amazing ideas that would actually look pretty damn good on screen. I guess it's up to us now to tell them.
PS: Thank you to each one of you who took the time to comment and share your ideas. Don't be surprised when you see some of them premiering in a theater near you ;)
No one wants a story about the success of a country, it doesnt have pain, hence no drama.
If someone watched a movie about the ME, they will watch about the wars in Lebanon and Iraq, not about the success of UAE and Qatar.
If u watch a movie about Europe, u might be interested in it's WW2 Era, not in its post war Era, where it had economic success
Wtf r u even talking about ITS A MOVIE ABOUT A KIDS SUCCESS fking hell obviously he needs a problem to fix
@@argadargad9128 Exactly my point. Sure we can tell these stories but there's too many of them like that. I'd love to watch a movie of how an African entrepreneur, for example, rose from adversity and built a conglomerate. Just my 2 cents.
@Water & Sky best response ever! Was hoping for some intellectual, non-biased povs when I wrote this and I'm happy people like you still exist lol. All I can say is, we're working on it, watch this space ;)

I still can't stop crying watching the trailer. This is one of the greatest movies I've seen. I am so impressed by William Kamkwamba's story and also by all the people involved in making this movie. Watched both of his Ted talks afterwards.
I cried just watching the trailer.... Gonna stock up on Kleenex before I see this! LOL
*It's ok to cry child.*
So did I ^^ I THINK after "I can do it" to his dad or something .. . .
you will need them and you will cry tears of joy at the end this ACTUALLY happened. If you are not a teenager, and in engineering, you will feel VERY inadequate about yourself at the end too.
mary higgins I got a little misty eyed too.
Me too!
I am glad Chiwetel has provided the global platform for this inspiring Malawian story to be told. In his interviews about making this film you could hear the passion and commitment he had to tell this story.
But there are a lot of talented Malawian actors who would have taken atleast ONE lead role, and speak decent Chichewa.
Secondly, the generic English accent for ALL African nations is offensive. That is not how Malawians sound when speaking English.
This is a very inspirational story. Based on true events ! Highly recommended. I cried in the end.
I just watched the full movie, i am so inspired...God Bless Africa
Beautiful story. I'm genuinely excited for this!!!
Anyone else read it as "The Boy Who Harassed The Wind"?
Watched it. Loved it. That kid is special. If everyone could do what he did for his village we would have such peace. Great film and great cast. Loved it.💖💖💖💖💖

Kenyans really did justice to this film. Ejiofor us telling African stories in authentic fashion.
Just read about it on Nyasa Times today, Thanks Chiwetel Ejiofor. can't wait to watch it all. Proudly Malawian
Chiwetel Ejiofor did this story justice. I cried a lot and have a new outlook on purpose.
Also so proud to be African :) Poverty is part of the continent, but survival and prosperity are too.
The enemy in this hero story are the worldbank (ny) etc, that speculate on corn knowing that the victims won´t be alive to sue.
And it is a story of 2001, the corps that are given to by governments aren't fertile, so you cannot plant them only eat them. Because American and Chinese scientist genetically modified it and most other corn is prohibited true patent letters so that they can speculate with it knowing they will profit.
seriously?! they were given seeds for crops that would fail on purpose?! if I had known that, I would have purchased seeds from the local store and mailed them to those in need! damn those corrupt governments!
looking at my sad garden, I do not feel as pitiful as I had just before reading this. My crops are slow to produce, but my family doesn't Rely on a therapeutic hobby to live off of...first world problems are so damn trivial, especially when put into perspective of those in need. My heart is heavy for those who are struggling, especially those who struggle more then I do.
this movie made me tear up so badly. It is so beautifully made
I dont know why it took so much time for me to watch this movie. What an inspiring and touching movie. Education should be free all around the world. Africa will rise ! Love from India.
Lho visto per la prima volta, mi ha fatto riflettere molte da oggi guarderò il mondo da una prospettiva DIVERSA, MOLTO DIVERSA... LOVE MALAWI, LOVE AFRICA♥️♥️♥️
Can’t wait for this. Notice the new faces . Good job max👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Read the book in middle school, and it kinda looks the way I remember imagining it, so good job Netflix
My uncle told me n my brother one day when we were in middle school
“There is someone out there wishing to have lived your worst days then to have their best days” and for me it made me grateful. Take it as you will but I always thought of it as some kid my age (or anyone, anywhere really) waiting for their next meal while I live with my folks, fed daily, clothes on my back and have my health. I am grateful
-kid from the sunny side of SoCal🙏🏽
One of the most inspiring movies I have seen.
A beautiful story that emphasizes the importance of education, and how in situations where life is stripped down to the act of survival and nearly all hope is lost, even the smallest things can be sparks that light the brightest of minds.
Let this be a reminder that Africa has the strongest people in the world, and that this continent can achieve so much as long as the people stick together.
Finally a movie about africans that isn't glorifying the violence.
Watched last night. This movie was simply beautiful.
Randomly picked up this book years ago and read it on a whim. Incredible story. Glad to see it got a movie.
I already feel pumped watching this trailer.....Well done Chiwetel Ejiofor!!
Awh! Malawi 🇲🇼 my home but am laughing so hard with the accent of the language you tried guys! Can’t wait to watch it!
I'm saying, hhaha
I know right.....Lol
How could a man on earth be like this he is an angel

William Kamkwamba is a true hero! What a truly beautiful soul.
You guys beginning to adopt African movies really warms my heart.🥰
There should be a prize for companies from first world nations that help the world
eradicate hunger, eradicate coca crops. Humanity can not afford to allow other people to die for lack of insurmountable things.

Literally cried while watching this movie.... Hope and hard work never fails... Love from Tamilnadu 💜💙
Saw this at the Sundance Film Festival. Fantastic movie - an incredible story masterfully done. Bravo!!!
Assistir esse filme foi uma das experiências mais poderosas da minha vida, não me sinto se quer capaz de falar sobre essa história em outro idioma que não o meu materno, por isso optei por não comentar em inglês. Não paro de pensar sobre a força do William, sobre a coragem de enfrentar um problema tao duro e com tão pouco recurso, e como a empatia é capaz de mudar o mundo, o vilarejo só precisava de energia elétrica para não passarem fome, algo que a maioria de nós tem em casa e não analisa como ter energia é um privilegio. Obrigada William, obrigada aos atores, Maxwell e Chiwetel e todos os outros que fizeram parte dessa obra prima.
I have not experienced satisfaction in a movie for a long time until this. loved everything about it!! great actors too!
Wow what a movie .astonished. very simple people,innocent people, but elegant in maintaining peace and harmony of the family. Beautiful movie.
Another Netflix masterpiece.
I love watching African movies pls put a category on Netflix for such movies!
I am absolutely looking forward to taking my family out to see this inspiring and beautiful story of courage and honour. God bless you!!!!
For anyone who's wondering/interested, the instrumental/orchestral piece starting 1:19 is Thomas Bergersen's "Two Hearts". It's as touching and heartwarming as this movie.
Just watched it, so brilliant!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I must admit, when I was growing up in Zimbabwe. I was told to run🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ as fast as wind if I see a Chinyau (costume dressed dancers) it was a bad omen, so I was told. But after watching this movie, am probably cool with them. I am too old to run anyway😆😆😆
This movie was *AWESOME.* A real masterpiece.
I must say chiwetel is a good actor, the chewa was on point
A great movie is not one that shows fun, glamour, conspiracy, action etc.. But is one that is capable enough to transform our knowledge for a better outcome and well being...
The boy Who Harnessed The Wind is one of such best movies
3 FACTS: 1. Could be due to my depression but i got water in my eyes from like 45secs into the trailer. So, think I'll hold off til life gets better b4 I stream this one.
2. Netflix is on a tear tho for quality films w/ centralized black characters👏👏🔥🔥👍👍
3. Chiwetel Ejiofor is a monnnnnnster.
Can't speak on your depression ( although hope you get help though if you're serious because depression is no light matter) but Netflix is putting out great original material in general. But as a black american I definitely agree to your point on its quality black content.
Chiwetel is a great actor. Red Belt forced it's way into my personal top 10 movies. Versatile actor.
